APPENDIX 2
NOTES
Note 1 - “insert date of birth or age” - Normally the date of birth should be inserted in
full. Only in exceptional circumstances should the seafarer’s “age” be inserted. This
should be the seafarer’s age at the time the SEC was signed and should be inserted
only where there is no means of establishing the seafarer’s actual date of birth e.g.
because the seafarer comes from a country where birth records are not accurate or for
various reasons no longer exist and the seafarer himself does not know his actual date
of birth.
Note 2 - “Capacity in which seafarer is to be employed” - This will be the capacity in
which the seafarer is to be employed at the time the SEC is signed by the parties to it.
Given that an SEC may run for a considerable length of time if the seafarer remains with
the same shipowner, it is possible that the capacity in which the seafarer is employed
could change over time. The shipowner may wish to consider whether a new SEA will
be issued at such time or alternatively include a provision indicating how any changes to
capacity will be dealt with e.g. by means of a letter setting out the new capacity and the
relevant wage scale.
Note 3 – “Place of Work” should state either the name of the vessel on which the
Seafarer is to be employed where this is known or may state that “Place of Work may
be on any vessel owned, managed or chartered by the shipowner.” where the seafarer
may be employed on more than one vessel.
Note 4 - Wages - As with “Capacity” (Note 2 above) wages payable to the seafarer are
likely to change if employed by the same shipowner over a significant period of time.
When completing the “Wages” entry in the SEC, the shipowner will therefore need to
bear this in mind and include appropriate wording to cover any future wage increases
e.g. by providing for the wage to increase as notified to the seafarer in writing.
Note 5 –“Paid Annual Leave” - The period of paid annual leave must be not less than
that specified in the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 Standard A2.4. Where it is more
appropriate to do so, the formula to be used for calculating annual leave, e.g. 2.5 days
per month of employment, may be inserted instead of an actual number of days.
Note 6 - Notice of Termination of Employment - The period of notice required to be
given to the seafarer by the shipowner must not be less than that required to be given to
the shipowner by the seafarer and, except in the case of a fixed term or voyage
agreement, must be not less than seven days.
APPENDIX 2
Note 7 - Health and Social Security Benefits - The provision of medical care includes
any surgical or medical treatment or such dental or optical treatment (including the
repair or replacement of any appliance) as cannot be postponed without impairing
efficiency.
Note 8 - Social Security Benefits - These include payment by the shipowner of any
costs incurred in respect of any sickness or injury occurring between the date on which
they commenced duty on board a ship and the date on which they are deemed to have
been duly repatriated. This also includes payments that shipowners are required to
make in respect of the death or long term disability of a seafarer due to an occupational
injury, illness or hazard occurring while the seafarer is serving under a seafarer’s
employment contract or arising from their employment under such contract. Where
appropriate, account should also be taken of all current Malaysian legislation governing
health and social security protection benefits and the SEC should specify what, if any
social security contributions are being made by the shipowner on the seafarer’s behalf
and to which administration. If no contributions are being made, the SEC should state
that the seafarer should make their own arrangements to pay social security
contributions where appropriate.
Note 9 - Repatriation - The terms and conditions governing entitlement or otherwise to
repatriation for seafarers shall identify the destination as one of the following:
the place where the seafarer signed their employment agreement;
their country of residence;
the place specified in any applicable collective agreement; or,
subject to the agreement of the shipowner, another place of the seafarer's
choosing.
Note 10- Maximum duration of service periods after which you are entitled to
repatriation
The maximum period of service following which a seafarer will be entitled to repatriation
is to be not more than 52 weeks minus the period of statutory paid annual leave - see
note 5.
Note 11 - Applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement(s) - Seafarers Employment
Contract may, where applicable, incorporate any applicable collective bargaining
agreements. Therefore the terms and conditions contained in a collective bargaining
agreement should be appended to, or incorporated by reference into, and thus form part
of a Seafarer Employment Contract. Collective bargaining Agreements may not
however be substituted entirely for individual Seafarer Employment Agreements.
APPENDIX 2
It should also be noted that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of a
collective bargaining agreement and the Malaysian general or merchant shipping
legislation, the relevant Malaysian legislation will prevail.
Note 12 - Hours of Work - The hours of work for seafarers employed on Malaysian
registered vessels must comply with the requirements of the Merchant Shipping
(Manning, Hours of Work and Watchkeeping) Rules 1999 (as amended) or any
subsequent Regulations which may further amend or replace those Regulations.
Note 13 – “Inclusion of Additional Provisions by Shipowner” – It is recognised that
there will be occasions on which shipowners wish to include provisions additional to
those set out in the Maritime Labour Convention. There is no objection to the inclusion
of such additional provisions however any such provisions must not conflict with the
provisions of the Malaysian general or merchant shipping legislation or any international
instruments which have been ratified by Malaysia. The Marine Department Malaysia will
not be checking and approving additional provisions, and it will therefore be the
responsibility of the shipowner to ensure that there is no conflict. Failure to do so may
result in refusal to issue a Maritime Labour Certificate or its cancellation if one has
already been issued.
In the context of non compliance, some provisions have previously been found in crew
agreements which, if included in Seafarer Employment Contract, could result in refusal
to issue, or cancellation of, a Maritime Labour Certificate. Examples of these, which
would apply also to Seafarer Employment Agreements, include:-
requiring that all seafarers belong to a union – Under Malaysia law there is no
obligation on any worker to belong to a union.
requiring that seafarers join a specified union - Apart from the previous
provision regarding choice on whether or not to join a union, such a provision would
also conflict with the International Labour Organisation Convention on Freedom of
Association. This Convention has been ratified by Malaysia and provides that workers
shall be free to form and join organisations of their own choosing.
requiring that by signing the agreement seafarers automatically agree to
medical information about themselves being passed to the shipowner or another
party acting on behalf of the shipowner. - This is not acceptable and may only be
done with the specific prior authority of the seafarer on each occasion the shipowner
requests that such information be made available.
APPENDIX 2
requiring that by signing the agreement seafarers automatically agree to
sensitive personal data about them being passed to other individuals or
organizations as determined appropriate by the shipowner or another party
acting on behalf of the shipowner. - This also is not acceptable as such
individuals/organisations may potentially be located in countries that do not have data
protection legislation or have legislation that does not provide similar protection to that
of the Malaysia. Such transfer of “sensitive personal information” may only be
undertaken with the specific prior authority of the seafarer on each occasion the
shipowner proposes that such information be passed to another individual or
organisation.
requiring that a seafarer bear the cost of his repatriation, and the cost of
providing his replacement, should he terminate his employment prior to
completing the specified period of employment even though he gave the period
of notice to terminate his employment that was required by the agreement. - A
seafarer can only be charged the cost of his repatriation if he has breached his
obligations under the agreement or has been dismissed on disciplinary grounds. The
giving of the period of notice specified in the agreement would not constitute breach of
the seafarer’s obligations even if it terminated his employment before the date
envisaged in the agreement.
This list is illustrative only and should not be taken as listing all provisions that
would be considered unacceptable.
Note 14 – “The Place where Agreement is entered into” should state the name of
village, town or city and country where Agreement is signed by the parties to it
